Myofascial trigger points (mTrP) are discrete, focal, hyper-irritable spots commonly located in a taut band of skeletal muscle but they may also be found in other soft tissues. They can trigger pain in an affected muscle and or associated region.
Tennis Elbow and Pitcher Elbow, a common sport injury, is a result of a disease of the tendons and ligaments which also always involves the musculature, particularly at the muscular point of insertion.
Tendinosis calcarea is a common cause of shoulder pain, particularly in persons between the age of 30 and 60 years. The etiology of the disease has not yet been elucidated. Calcifications develop in the tendons of the rotator cuff and typically go through defined stages or evolutionary cycles.
Medial tibial stress syndrome refers to pain along or just behind the tibia. The cause is overexertion of the shinbone and its surrounding tissue. Tibial stress syndrome is commonly reported in athletes who participate in sports requiring frequent abrupt starts and stops. Runners are also often affected.
Plantar fasciitis and Heel Spurs are common conditions successfully treated with ESWT. Plantar heel pain is generated when excessive strain is exerted at the insertion of the plantar fascia.
Achillodynia is a pain syndrome of the Achilles tendon, the tendon that connects the musculature of the calf to the calcaneus bone, and is caused by overstraining of the tendon.
Jumper’s Knee, also known as Patellar tendonitis is a condition caused by overstraining of the patellar tendon due to repetitive, unusual and / or acute tension in the area where the tendon connects to the bone.
Trochanteric pain syndrome is a common regional pain syndrome. It is characterized by chronic and intermittent aching pain over the lateral side of the hip and a limitation of function. Precipitating factors are often slight malformations or minor deformities of the hip, found on X-ray examination, including a slight misalignment of the femur head.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is an effective and innovative treatment method used to combat common concerns including myofascial dysfunction, repetitive stress injuries, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), shoulder tendonitis, and more. It is considered a breakthrough treatment that can make common problems like heel pain virtually obsolete. Many people with chronic pain problems are turning to ESWT to find relief from their pain.
ESWT is an FDA approved form of treatment. It is a non-surgical approach to pain relief that is used regularly to cure common problems like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. The therapy works by targeting shock waves directly to the area that is experiencing pain. This non-invasive procedure typically lasts less than 30 minutes.
One of the main benefits of ESWT is the low risk attached to the procedure. Patients receive the therapy outside of their body instead of receiving an invasive surgery. This promotes a faster recovery time, and it also minimizes the side effects from the treatment itself.
Recovery from ESWT is a gradual process, however the pain will not get worse. In the process of ESWT, damaged tissue cells begin to rebuild. Therefore, healing of the injured area will occur over a few days, weeks or months as these new cells develop. In some rare cases individuals will experience soreness or bruising after the treatment.
Extracorpeal Shock Wave Therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving areas where major connective tissues attach to bones.
Most patients treated with shockwave experience a marked improvement within several weeks. Range of motion increases and freedom from symptoms is usually achieved after a single treatment.
